Time for a new couple! God, Richard, I don't care It's wild to me that people get married without their kids having met their partner Emma...you don't even know how to say hi to Hossein? You need to be able to talk to your partner about sex if you plan for sex to be a part of your relationship COME CLEAN, SHAUN Also, clean, Shaun Hi, Calum! Solid, Calum That is a huge cleaver for what looks like squash Calum and Marvin are cuties Maybe Marvin just has a type? RICHARD YOU ARE SEXIST I will hate you all I want It is weird that Richard gave you booty shorts, Kathleen Your humor isn't translating because it isn't funny Shaun and Christine literally have a kid together, Jimmy Jimmy is rude The greenscreening is rough on this version SHAUN! STOP SPENDING MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE! Aw Shaun really loves Christine and she really loves him An engagement seems a LITTLE soon, Calum Welp why would you marry him then, Emma? Wow that room Calum is in is white Next time Richard fai...

New hobbies can be great! Pick something that makes your brain feel awake Start small (don't go all in on something you haven't tried yet especially as some hobbies can be expensive) If you can, sign up for a class as it'll help you ease in, learn, and actually try it See if you can get a friend or two to join you Document your progress if you find this motivating Invite others to partake (give away what you made, invite to a performance, do a skill share, etc.) Block out time for it Don't get discouraged if you're not immediately great, besides hobbies are meant to be enjoyed not aced Find ways to incorporate it into other hobbies (e.g. write about it, play music that inspires it) Remember that you can pick any hobby back up no matter how much time has passed Consider doing reasearch on the hobby (e.g. reading a book, watching YouTube videos, seeing finished products of the hobby) Try different angles of the hobby (e.g. for writing, try writing different things; fo...

These are mostly bad as opposed to atrocious behaviors. Spitting Drinking alcohol on public transit Littering Not picking up dog poop Catcalling Wearing a mask incorrectly Letting poorly behaved dogs off leash Leaving books no one would want in little libraries Being rude to cashiers Telling booksellers you'll buy the book on Amazon instead Blasting music Speeding Loud mufflers Leaving trash in the trash room when you're supposed to put it down the chute Being rude to bus drivers/conductors (Prompt provided by Brianna Aaron) "STEEL RESERVE ALLOY SERIES SPIKED PUNCH" by Dan Keck

So we don't get to see Hossein propose to Emma Kathleen...what do you see in this man? Victoria, any proof is going to be in Japanese Okay a downward hike means an upward hike back, Kadie Kadie...do you know what the Amazon smells like? Why'd she take her sweater off? It doesn't look that dangerous Why is Emma out of focus?

 Time for more being drunk in lingerie! Lol to the steak in memorium Okay I think we're making a bit of a leap to say Heather doesn't care Yikes, did Heather just push Whitney? Crystal Pussy? Does Crystal Pussy appreciate Jen using her like this? "Pay that rent" Poor Whitney Oop Whitney picked "honesty" to toast to Aw poor Meredith Ah I now see how Whitney was triggered Heather, you're not helping GAH HEATHER Of course Stu isn't on Jen's side anymore...he's facing jail time Next time we go skiing Next time Meredith's son comes out (or so it appears) Next time Jen maintains her innocence Next time Whitney and Heather have a chat that goes...poorly?

Did I know this? I don't need to know how often Libby and Andrei have sex Libby and I have the same favorite flower Jenny "broke" Sumit's stomach so bad that she moved his navel and it's leaking...yikes Sumit, they said they were cutting ties with you already... Angela...you should've given Michael a heads up I mean, I guess you should talk to Michael, but really you should never have gotten married Oh poor Shaeeda Only 18 years older Usman...did you expect that to go well? Is it a bull or a cow? Kim, the answer is no, you are not welcome to speak Jenny...that house is not clean Sumit...your parents are not going to come to visit I see both sides of Yara and Jovi's disagreement Yay Gwen and Yara are friends again!

Time for a new couple! Aww I do want to root for Shaun and Christine Shaun, you could've cleaned Victoria, it is a red flag that Sean is keeping you from his family Emma and Hossein seem like an unlikely couple Host proposing would've been wild Bridie was there for only a weekend??? Victoria is so giggly What was with the sunglasses, Sean? Bridie and Host seem like a bad match Ah Host justifiably doesn't trust banks Bridie...don't sell your house...like, you're not even engaged Victoria...of course he's still lying Sean, why are you so surprised that Victoria is upset? Next time Richard travels Next time Emma and Hossein get engaged Next time Victoria has reasonable doubts Next time Kadie is rude Next time Kadie and Alejandro get engaged (or so it appears) Next time looks good Can't wait!

Time for a sweet episode? Someone procreated with Richard? I can't handlet this nudity Richard...you're literally doing it on TV so you'll have to tell Kathleen Alejandro...she's not a domestic traveller Kadie...you are ignorant KADIE! YOU CAN'T SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A PRISON! Kadie...did you learn any Spanish? Sigh, Shaun, I want to root for ya, but you gotta come clean I think bangers and mash is tasty I get why London should be the eventual plan, but while Victoria's dad is ill maybe stay in Birmingham Wait why are they househunting? Isn't he just here for 90 days? Did I misunderstand? I mean if I supported Richard and Kathleen I'd say the next step is for Richard to hire her a tutor Richard is definitely trying to get out of watching his son "Try before you buy" GROSS Speaking Spanish is in fact a skill you can learn, Kadie That's not a potato Kadie's Spanish is abysmal Shaun...COME CLEAN Okay I get that maybe it can't be super nice...

Maybe I should do a book review or two What are your favorite posts I've done? What kinds of posts are your favorite? What's something you wish I'd try?

Lisa...that is a rough analogy Oh god I'd be so annoyed if someone woke me up like this Yes, impress the girl on the trip is the point, Heather Oh god I hate these bike drinking things Ew...don't pour the drinks on Whitney This poor driver I appreciate Whitney asking how to properly show appreciation Meredith...you did spread rumors I love these dresses Garbage Whore Lingerie Party...sure Wow Lisa just wore PJs Why are you in shock, Lisa?

Time to meet new couples! Richard looks like a dick (though I'm biased based on what he said in the preview of the previous episode) And Richard seems like a dick (unsurprisingly) "My night out starts in the day" COOL GAH RICHARD IS TRASH Kadie you clearly do need to worry about sun stroke Victoria and Sean seem awkward Kathleen...have better standards Yikes we're just gonna go ahead and say that white dudes look for sex slaves in the Philippines Okay rice does exist in the UK These international trips are quick on this 90 Day iteration I feel like I haven't bonded enough with Bridie and Host to feel sad about Bridie leaving Oop Sean was talking to Victoria before he was divorced Sean...you're sketchy Y'all haven't even decided where you'll live yet, Alejandro Again, Richard is trash Did Richard just call Kathleen a "cleaning fairy"? Richard is trash and dumb Okay but like Victoria's dad is sick, Sean Also, you should at least visit B...

 For the record, I won't be typing about Big Ed (you can ask me why if you're curious).  Bilal would drive me nuts How do they not agree if they're trying or not? Everyone gets emotional at times, Bilal This OBGYN did not ask for these details Oop Andrei testified for himself "You don't have any constitutional rights because you're not an American" YIKES Sumit's shoes really were in the middle of the floor I mean Jenny and Sumit should at least VISIT the US Yes, Jenny, it is weird to talk to your daughter about a Karma Sutra class, but it's also weird TO FILM IT Yes, call Sumit "Pops" Did...did Angela just ask her friend to put a license plate in her purse?

Baggy denim: I still like a tighter fit Ballet flats: I'm not a fan of heels so these sound good to me Suit vest for women: I think this works,but would be hard for a busty lady to wear Flip flop heels: Let flip flops be flip flops Small bags: What's the point?

Oh Angela...this is such a bad plan God, Charlie, I don't care Charlie...don't you see if alcohol is always involved that maybe that's a problem?
